Geography

Cold Spring is located at (41.418907, -73.954522).
One of the notable features of the village is its unique perch in the Hudson Highlands. The village borders the Hudson River to the west, and is bound by the Hudson Highlands State Park to the north, where Mount Taurus and Breakneck Ridge rise steeply and dramatically out of the banks of the Hudson and form two basically parallel ridges that track each other inland. The valley between them has an abandoned dairy farm, two lakes, and a camp. The view from the river bank is the Constitution Marsh and the US Military Academy (West Point) slightly to the south, and Crow's nest and Storm King Mountain to the center and slightly to the north. All of this considered, the village is nestled in the most prominent vertical terrain on the Hudson north of New York City prior to the Shawangunk and Catskill ranges. This, and its historic housing stock, have made it a popular weekend destination for tourists from New York City.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km²), of which 0.6 square miles (1.6 km²) is land and 1.64% is water.
